- the stretching method is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to apply a load uniformly in the stretching direction.
- a sheet-like current collector for example, when winding the current collector on which the active material layer is formed from one roller to the other roller, the current collector is applied by applying a load between the two rollers. Can be stretched in the longitudinal direction (MD direction).
- the TD direction it may be stretched.
- the film may be stretched in the biaxial direction on a plane parallel to the surface of the current collector 11.

- the electrode 200 Since the electrode 200 is stretched in advance, deformation such as wrinkles hardly occurs due to charging / discharging of the battery. Even in a battery using a conventional electrode that has not been previously stretched, the electrode is stretched in a plane parallel to the current collector by charge and discharge. However, a portion of the current collector where the active material layer is not formed (such as a lead wire extraction portion) hardly extends. On the other hand, in the battery using the electrode 200 of the present embodiment, the portion of the current collector of the electrode 200 where the active material layer is not formed is also stretched. Therefore, in order to determine whether or not the electrode has been stretched in the electrode production stage, in addition to the presence or absence of wrinkles on the electrode after charge and discharge, for example, the elongation of the lead wire extraction portion may be examined.

- the current collector 91 after the annealing treatment was cut into a size having a width of 15 mm and a length of 70 mm, and similarly stretched in the uniaxial direction until it was broken by a tensile test.
- the breaking strength was 6.1 N / mm
- the breaking elongation was 8%.
- the current collector 91 after the annealing treatment may be stretched at a rate smaller than 8%, which is the elongation at break. I understood.
- the current collector 91 after the annealing treatment is cut into a size having a width of 15 mm and a length of 70 mm, and the current collector 91 is cut into the longer diagonal line b of each convex portion 92 using a tensile tester.
- the length along the stretching direction was extended by 5% by plastic deformation. Thereby, the electrode 1 was obtained.
- FIG. 11 and FIG. 12A are schematic views showing the results of observing the electrode A and the electrode 1 from the normal direction of the current collector, respectively, using a scanning electron microscope.
- FIG. 12B is an enlarged view of FIG.
- a direction parallel to the vapor deposition direction is X
- a direction perpendicular to the direction X is Y.
- the directions X and Y are parallel to the diagonal lines a and b (FIG. 10) of the convex portion 12 of the current collector 91.
- the width WX in the X direction and the width WY in the Y direction of each active material body when the electrode A and the electrode 1 are viewed from the normal direction of the current collector. Since the arrangement pitch PX along the X direction, the arrangement pitch PY along the Y direction, the linear porosity (minimum linear porosity) in the direction Z connecting the closest active material bodies, and the surface porosity were determined. It is shown in 1.
- the widths WX and WY of the active material bodies hardly extend by the stretching process, but the arrangement pitch PY of the active material bodies extends about 20%, and the gaps between the active material bodies are in the Y direction. You can see that it has expanded. It can also be seen that the minimum linear porosity and the surface porosity can be expanded to 19.4% and 31.9%, respectively.
- the ratio of voids between the active material bodies can be increased and the expansion stress can be reduced without reducing the productivity.
- the void ratio can be adjusted as appropriate by changing conditions such as tensile load.
- an active material silicon oxide
- FIG. 12 (b) it can be seen that there is a break in this deposited layer by the stretching process. Most of the cuts occur along the direction X perpendicular to the stretching direction. Therefore, even if the active material of the deposited layer expands, these cuts become voids, and the stress applied to the current collector 91 due to the expansion can be reduced.
- Example 2 In Example 1 described above, the current collector was stretched along the Y direction. However, in Example 2, the current collector on which the active material layer was formed was stretched by rolling, and the electrode 2 was stretched. Produced.
- an active material layer was formed on both sides of the current collector in the same manner as in Example 1 using the same current collector as in Example 1. Thereafter, annealing was performed in an argon atmosphere at a temperature of 500 ° C. for 1 hour in the same manner as in Example 1. The current collector after the annealing treatment was cut into a size having a width of 15 mm and a length of 70 mm.
- the current collector on which the active material layer was formed was stretched on the surface parallel to the current collector.
- the current collector was stretched by a rolling process using a stretchable rubber.
- FIG. 13 is a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining the stretching process (rolling process) performed in Example 2.
- a current collector (15 mm ⁇ 70 mm) 100 on which an active material layer is formed is sandwiched between two rubber plates 63 having a thickness of 1.0 mm, and the current is collected via the plates 63.
- the body 100 was pressurized along its thickness direction.
- silicone rubber SR50 manufactured by Tigers Polymer Co., Ltd. was used as the extensible rubber used for the plate 63.
- the current collector 100 was stretched in all directions in a plane parallel to the surface of the current collector 100. In this way, an electrode 2 was obtained.
- Example 2 when the electrode 2 was observed from the normal direction of the current collector using a scanning electron microscope, it was confirmed that the electrode 2 was extended not only in the Y direction but also in the X direction.
- the surface porosity of the active material layer of the electrode 2 was 28%.
- variety (thickness) of an active material body hardly changed by the extending process, and the space
- Example 2 the current collector 100 was fixed and the rolling process was performed.
- the rolling process is performed using an apparatus as shown in FIG. Also good. Specifically, first, the current collector 100 is sandwiched between two rubber plates 63. Next, the current collector 100 is pulled in the direction of the arrow while compressing the current collector 100 using the roller 61 from the surface opposite to the side in contact with the current collector 100 of each plate 63. Thereby, the sheet-like current collector 100 can be rolled continuously and efficiently.
- the rubber to be used is not particularly limited as long as it has stretchability.
- the current collector 100 can be extended in a uniaxial direction.
- the current collector 100 is biaxial. Can stretch in the direction.
- the negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of the present invention can be applied to various lithium secondary batteries such as a coin shape, a cylindrical shape, a flat shape, and a square shape. These lithium secondary batteries have charge / discharge cycle characteristics superior to conventional ones while ensuring a high charge / discharge capacity. Therefore, it can be widely used in portable information terminals such as PCs, mobile phones, and PDAs, and audiovisual equipment such as video recorders and memory audio players.
